Glossary : How to: find/form a group for an instance

Please if you have any suggestions to improve this how to, post it below and it will be added to the original post, thx to the contributors.

Hello guys, as a lot of new people started to play recently here's a little help to find groups for instances(dungeons). Note that some knowledges of chinese can help but isn't necessary to run instances in wow China.

These are all the words/infos you'll need to get a group of heroes ready to bleed a bunch of atrocious, malicious, machiavelous, Hideous, deformed, and not so kind monsters.

Let's be role play and take an exemple : you are a powerful wizard, who master the power of innerfire and the satan, you are a WARLOCK MOUHAHAHA(...) errr sorry. So you decide to go clean Hellfire Ramparts from these smelly, bleedy orcs :

6. Advertising for your own group :

First register yourself into the looking for panel to get acces to the /lfg channel, once you are in, type :

PT = you are forming a group for a normal mode instance地狱火壁垒(CQ) = you plan on going in hellfire rampart找 = this verb means "look for" some people also use 来(lai = to come)MT/治疗/1FS/1DPS = you need a tank, a healer, you want one mage(for free breads, and the other DPS can be any of the dps classes1=4 means 1person wait for 4 people (kind of let people know if it soon gonna start or not)

easy isn't it?

7. Selling your body :

Tired to form your own group? wanna watch Annah Montana on TV? no problems!

Advertise for yourself into the /1 /2 /lfg channels and hopefully someone will notice you. The sentence is as follow : (we still are the warlock from before)

SS求组YXFB (then you add whatever you want after like how sexy you are etc, well sell yourself! for exemple : 去的组下,我是美女 etc, etc..)

anal yse this :

SS = your class (warlock in this case)求组(qiuzu) = Seeking GroupYXFB = heroic dungeon(you could have put the name of a specific dungeon)

8. A few tips for beginners :

- When you look for a group don't only advertise on /lfg channel, advertise also on zone /1 channel, and if in a capital on trade /2 channel.

- Don't expect going into dungeons untill you hit outland : BUT once in outland (lv58) it is freakin easy to rush instances with chinese people. Hellfire Ramparts, Blood Furnace can be your new friends for a good bunch of levels. Particulary easy to find groups in the evening and the weekend.

- Don't be afraid to play with chinese people, most of them don't speak english, but even if it can feel weird at times not understanding a word of what is said on the /party channel, take it easy, it's just a game. As long as you don't wipe them all day long they are cool ^^.

- If you feel like someone is asking you something but cannot understand you can always try to past this : 不好意思我是外国人我听不懂汉语(sorry I'm a foreigner, I don't understand mandarin)

One thing about this list, lots of chinese people use codings for instance names, so I'll list a few of them here, waiting for some help to complete the holes : (Note that these codes may be different depending on the realm you are playing in)

Thx, hope it will help the new people. It's really important to know how to pug things once you are 70 if you wanna gear up a little.

@sean: super easy. just go to your Battlenet.com.cn account page. click on the tbc pic. after you've done that, there'll be a page giving you info about how much time you have left(in mins). click on the right option just below the numbers telling you how much time you got left.

@thx Hirna I'm gonna add the 求组 part (didn't think about at first caus I never find a group spamming this lol, might be the realm)

@lore we could add something about gold groups but this "how to" is meant to help guys who just arrived in wow china and struggle to do something else than solo questing.Now gold groups = (10?)/25 man pugs, I don't think people who need this guide can or will organize 10/25 man pugs.

Bolomas: Ah.. my point was how to differentiate between someone advertising a spot in a party, or someone just filling numbers for a gold run. Wasn't trying to imply we'd be asking for a gold run.. just so we know which are which. If you get my meaning.

Lore got you this time, I didn't understand your previous message. Usually people don't run 5man gold runs so I'm sure won't be a problem.

been using your guide a lot lately but as you might have noticed sometimes its still troublesome specially when im forming the group.

Could you add something like possible answers you get to questions, or other questions i can ask when forming a group

made a few see below

1. Can you come if we summon you2. I only come if you summon me

1. Can you help me summon2. who are going to summon?

1. what a persons role is in a group e.g. healer,tank, dps2. i am healer, i am tank, i am dps

1. Do you have the key2. I have the key

1. can you link me the achievement of the dungeon you are going ( sometimes i have no idea which one they mean )2. click this link ( link of achievement ) to see which one i mean.. yes it is english and you can click it to get chinese

1. give me leader so i can invite someone2. Can you look for the last person(s)

1. I have a friend can he join his class is ...2. Anyone have any friends they can ask to join us?

Now for the sentences why not but my chinese is very rudimentary too, so I usually use google translate to get these kind of stuff done. Now knowing how google translate results can be aproximatives I don't know if it's really worth posting them here.

Anyone have any friends they can ask to join us?有人有朋友能来吗？ (you ren you peng you neng lai ma?)

For the wotlk names I haven't added them here caus the original idea was to add the instances initials to the original glossary and delete them from this post and link only the glossary instance names.
